Verified Fan – BECOMING: An Intimate Conversation With Michelle Obama

BECOMING: An Intimate Conversation with Michelle Obama, will be an unforgettable experience for everyone who attends. We are working to create a safe and reliable ticket-buying experience to ensure tickets get directly to fans.

A simple registration is all it takes, and only fans that have been verified and invited to the presale will receive an access code that will allow them to shop for tickets in advance of the general public ticket sale.
